Cold Run Beyond The Arctic Circle

Cold Run Beyond The Arctic Circle

This year (2022), I decided to go on a motorcycle trip at the end of August, in fact, at the turn of the month, for which I would make no plans. The day before I left, I hadn’t even decided on the direction I was going. On the day of departure, the front wheel of my motorcycle was pointing north, so that’s where I was going. I drove a total of 2500 km to Norway through northern Finland. I spent…

In this episode, I took very many videos and photographs of the Sommaroya. It is an island with a small fishing village.

There lies the famous ruins from the Second World War era, the German Spåkenes Coastal Fort.

A Motorcyclist’s Guide to the Best North Norway Destinations

The Beauty of Northern Norway Welcome to the northernmost region of Norway, an exquisite destination world-known for its stunning natural beauty. There’s a reason people refer to this region as “The Land of the Midnight Sun.” Northern Norway is a region of extremes—from the gentle coastal landscape to the remote and rugged highland regions, from lush green forests to barren tundra. But it’s exactly this diversity—a mere 400 km from North Cape in the north to Lindesnes in the south—that…

Norway by motorcycle

Norway by motorcycle

With stunning scenery, twisting mountainous routes, and nearly faultless asphalt, Norway is a destination for riders looking to push themselves past the (relative) comfort of being closer to home on the continent.The best time to visit is from mid-June to mid-August. I visited at the mid of July, the weather hot, really hot. More than 30 degrees of Celsius when riding over the high plains. The colder it becomes the further north you go, so expect temperatures closer to early…

The Raatejutaus I

The Raatejutaus I

When my friend informed me that there are still some places for the upcoming motorcycle trip/gathering, the Raatejutaus I, I was still hesitating. From the previous trips, which he has organised I learnt that there will be many participants and a tight schedule to visit and see places. Namely war historical sites and monuments. I was thinking my interests to war history overall and noticed that there might be some good opportunity to learn our history and what my ancestors…
